New Website Assists Young Adults Wishing to Learn about Their Reproductive Options after Cancer

Treatment for certain diseases like cancer may affect your fertility. This means that it may not be possible for you to have a child naturally. A new website has just been launched to provide assistance to young patients wishing to learn about their reproductive options in the midst of a cancer diagnosis. Patients and their clinicians can go to the new Patient Navigator for Fertility Preservation website, which includes an interactive tool to provide information for males and females, before or after puberty, and before, during, or after cancer treatment.

Kristin Smith, the Oncofertility Consortium patient navigator for Fertility Preservation, is experienced

reproductive options available to them
at all stages of treatment. Now, through
a new website, FertilityPreservation.Northwestern.edu, survivors can get
her support, virtually.
